Hu Nian, a master of traditional Chinese painting, said: "Among the scrolls hanging in Danqing Pavilion, this "Longevity Picture" is enough to rank among the top three."
Both masters praised Fang Tianfeng for his ability to choose paintings, and everyone present was even more convinced of Fang Tianfeng.
Fang Tianfeng carefully observed the "Longevity Picture". Sixty percent of the talent and longevity energy on it accounted for four. If he wanted to refine it into a longevity energy treasure, he would have to eliminate 60% of the talent. Fortunately, the talent and longevity energy in this painting were neither.
It's not too much. After a while, after refining the Nine Dragons Jade Cup, you can start refining this calligraphy and painting.
The real value of this calligraphy and painting is that it opens a door for Fang Tianfeng to find longevity.
Fang Tianfeng asked: "Mr. Wang, do you have similar birthday calligraphy and paintings? It is best to create them on more solemn or formal occasions, and they are more precious than this painting."
Wang Yuanze thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "Besides this painting, I can't think of a more precious work."
But Huang Liangyi said: "Old Wang, why did you ignore "Kangxi Qianshouwen"? Those are calligraphy and paintings created at the famous "Thousands of Old Banquets" in history. Although the artistic value is not high, the collection value is not low."
Wang Yuanze immediately said: "Yes, yes, yes, the two emperors Kangxi and Qianlong were very happy in their later years. They specially held a Thousand-Sou Banquet and invited thousands of elderly people from all over the country to attend the Thousand-Sou Banquet, including centenarians, just to publicize it.
The people everywhere under their rule live well and live long lives. Although others praise the four Thousand-Old Banquets as a grand event and say that these old people can taste delicious dishes that they have never tasted before, I don't like it."
"Mr. Wang, please tell me, I vaguely remember that Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong held a Thousand Old Man Banquet, but the details are unclear." Fang Tianfeng also knew that old man means old man.
Wang Yuanze sighed softly and said: "In ancient times, it was not as good as now. Nowadays, when old people from other places go to Beijing, there are trains, buses and planes. It is more comfortable. Even so, after a lot of traveling, the old people may not adapt to the climate and get sick. Think about it.
With the transportation and medical conditions in ancient times, how did those old people get to the capital? It was either horse-drawn carriages or boats. How can it be compared with today? When the emperor issues an edict, do officials from all over the country dare to resist the edict? Of course, they must try their best to curry favor and choose the oldest local old man to please.
Emperor. So that the emperor can see how stable and prosperous the place he governs has old people with long lives. Historical records record that the oldest person at the Thousand Life Banquet was one hundred and forty-two years old. What do you think is the possibility of this? It is nothing more than exaggeration."
Huang Liangyi had a straight temper and couldn't help but say: "Despite all the talk about the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong, in fact the only good emperor in the Manchu Qing Dynasty was Yongzheng. Kang Qian, one asked Yongzheng to clean up the mess, and the other took over the mountains and rivers left by Yongzheng. Kangxi
Why did he pass the throne to Yongzheng? Because he knew that among all his sons, only Yongzheng had the ability to stabilize the country. Unfortunately, now, the two emperors Kangxi and Qianlong are so happy to have made contributions to the people and lost money. Yongzheng's reputation is far less than that of me and his son."
Many people present had a little knowledge of the Qing Dynasty, and they all nodded in agreement with Mr. Huang's words.
When Fang Tianfeng saw that these old people were getting ready for a history class, he hurriedly asked: "Mr. Wang, is the Thousand Old Man's Banquet very grand?"
Wang Yuanze replied: "It was very grand. How grand was it? It impressed the young Qianlong so deeply that when he got old, he imitated Kangxi and held the Thousand-Sou Banquet. Kangxi held two Thousand-Sou Banquets, and the first time there were almost as many people
Four thousand elderly people over 65 years old, and the second Thousand Old Feast was even grander, with more than 8,000 people! Qianlong's Thousand Old Feast did not have that many people, but his requirements were high, only old people over 70 years old.
"
When Fang Tianfeng heard this, he felt faintly excited. Emperors Kang and Qian had gathered so many elderly people from all over the country together. At that time, the longevity energy inside and outside the palace was probably sky high. If he could find something that represented the Thousand Life Banquet, it would definitely be a very, very powerful energy treasure.
Fang Tianfeng asked again: "Can you tell me more about Qianshouwen?".
Wang Yuanze was quite critical of the two emperors of Kangxi and Qianlong, but he was very enthusiastic when talking about the Qianshouwen: "The so-called "Qianshouwen" is to ask every old man who participated in the Qiansou Banquet to write the word "longevity" on the same piece of paper. During the reign of Kangxi and Kangxi The emperor held two thousand-year-old banquets, so there were four thousand-year-old essays in total. However, at that time, unlike now, the literacy rate was not high, so many old people wrote randomly. Of course, there were also some famous literati who lived long lives, but Generally speaking, the artistic value is not high, but the historical value and collection value are extremely high."
"Where are these four paintings of Thousand Life Characters now? Which one is the most valuable?"
Wang Yuanze thought for a while and said: "You are really stumping me. Kangxi's second "Thousands of Life Essays" has the largest number of words, but I think the first "Thousands of Life Essays" is more valuable. After all, the Four Thousands of Old Banquets At that time, the first "Thousand-year-old Man" was always there, witnessing all the Thousand-year-old Banquets."
"I understand, thank you, Mr. Wang. But do you know where I can find the "Thousands of Life Mantras"?" Fang Tianfeng has already determined his goal. The four "Thousands of Life Mantras" are currently the best longevity qi treasures, and the first one is particularly precious.
Wang Yuanze said: "The Palace Museum has the fourth "Thousand-Shou Essay" from the Qianlong period. The first character in the text is the character "Shou" written by Qianlong himself. As for the other three paintings, no one has ever mentioned it. Have any of you heard of it?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Fang Tianfeng said with a smile: "I am interested in "The Thousand Life Essay". If anyone knows the whereabouts of "The Thousand Life Essay", remember to contact me. I will be grateful!"
"Master Fang's deep gratitude is very important. I must find a way to find "The Thousand Life Essays"." Mayor Zheng Yingchao said with a smile. Others also had their own thoughts. Even the dignified mayor valued Fang Tianfeng's deep gratitude. He must We must also strive for it.
Wang Yuanze immediately ordered the students to take down the "Longevity Picture", roll it up, and then put it in the scroll bag and wrap it up.
Fang Tianfeng took the book bag and immediately smelled a stronger smell that was already in the room, including sanitary pellets and musk. Fang Tianfeng remembered that he had smelled this smell in Pang Jingzhou and Master's collection room. It's probably all for pest control.
Fang Tianfeng smiled and said: "Thank you Mr. Wang for the gift. As for the second lottery, I don't want it." Mr. Wang said again that he would give such a precious Tianhuang stone, and then he simply gave the "Longevity Picture" worth millions, and then On the contrary, it will appear petty.
Wang Yuanze shook his head and said: "If someone else gets two lucky numbers, don't be better. You are a master of calligraphy and a master of collection. I can rest assured when I put the things in your hands. Let's go to my 'Yunzhang Pavilion' and you choose A piece of calligraphy. I have a copy of Mi Fu’s "Peace Calligraphy" written by the calligrapher Wang Xizhi. Although it is not displayed, you can choose it."
Almost everyone looked at Fang Tianfeng with great envy, even the two old gentlemen Huang Liangyi and Hu Nian were no exception.
Huang Liangyi gritted his teeth and said: "You old bastard! How many times have I asked you for a copy of Mi Fu's "Peace Note", but you never let go, and you didn't even lend it to me. Every time I want to read it, I have to come to you. You now Just give it away so casually? Are you worthy of our friendship of more than 40 years?".
"And me!" Master Hu Nian said jokingly.
Xu Rou also joined in the fun and said, "Master, are you worthy of me?".
Everyone burst into laughter.
Wang Yuanze was very proud and said: "A treasure of this level should naturally be given to the most suitable person. The original copy of "Ping'an Tie" has been lost. Among the existing copies of "Ping'an Tie", Mi Fu's is the best and the best.
One of the cursive calligraphy books, it is perfect for Xiao Fang."
Fang Tianfeng said: "How about I choose one of Mr. Wang's words? I already have a "Peace Note" on hand. It's just that the "Peace Note" was originally three letters on one piece of paper, and my "Peace Note" only has one.
The paper is not only cut, but also slightly damaged, but fortunately the text is well preserved."
"Oh? Better than Mi Fu's "Ping'an Tie"? Who copied it? Yan Zhenqing or Liu Gongquan? Even Yan Liu's running script may not be better than Mi Fu's. Yan Liu and Yan Liu are masters of regular script. Su Dongpo and Su Shi have a higher historical status than Mi Fu.
Fu Gao and his calligraphy are not inferior to Mi Fu, but Dongpo is more like Yanliu, while Mi Fu is closer to Wang Xizhi."
Fang Tianfeng didn't want to say in public that he had the original work of the calligrapher. This would definitely be a sensational event in the calligraphy and collection circles. It was too ostentatious.
Fang Tianfeng smiled and said: "I haven't invited any famous experts to appreciate it, but I particularly like the "Peace Note"."
"You won't even replace Mi Fu's copy?"
"No change!"
Everyone immediately became interested. Now they all know Fang Tianfeng's level of appreciation and calligraphy. The meaning of his words is obvious. The "Ping'an Tie" in his hand is better than the copy of Mi Fu, one of the four great calligraphers in the Song Dynasty!
Wang Yuanze immediately turned around and walked towards the Linchitai room and said, "Is that the copybook on my desk?"
"Yes." Fang Tianfeng said.
Wang Yuanze pushed through the crowd, returned to Linchi Terrace, came to the desk, took a deep breath, and opened the "Peace Note" seriously.
Others stood across the table, waiting for Wang Yuanze's opinion.
This time, no one rushed over to take a look like Fang Tianfeng was writing. After all, Wang Yuanze was the owner of this place.
Everyone looked at Wang Yuanze curiously, wanting to hear the results from him.
Everyone saw that after Wang Yuanze opened the book folder, he showed admiration at first. He obviously thought the calligraphy was good. Then he showed doubts and excitement. He quickly took out a magnifying glass and took a closer look. The angle did not look like it was in the book.
Instead of reading the words, I’m looking at the paper.
After watching for a full minute, old man Wang Yuanze showed uncontrollable excitement on his face. He held the book folder in his hands and trembled slightly.
"Master, are you okay?" Xu Rou asked hurriedly.
A flush appeared on Wang Yuanze's face. He carefully closed the book folder and carefully placed it on the table. Then he raised his head and said with a very solemn expression: "Lao Hu, Lao Huang, you two stay, everyone else goes out! I will frame it tonight.
This calligraphy, the birthday banquet is over." There was a smile in his solemnity.
Everyone was puzzled, but they all saw that Wang Yuanze had obtained an incredible treasure. It was originally promised that it would not be framed until March next year, but when they saw this thing, they actually had to frame it overnight, and even the words of the Little Book Saint Fang Tianfeng were not treated like this.
Everyone looked at Fang Tianfeng and wanted to know how important this "Peace Note" was, so that people like Wang Yuanze, who had collected it for three generations and read through the treasures, were so excited. Wang Yuanze has always had great self-control, otherwise he would not have become a first-generation calligrapher.
, Master of Framing.
Everyone was very unwilling, including Mayor Zheng Yingmei and Li Yong. One was a powerful mayor, and the other was one of the four giants of the Internet in China. Even the provincial governor would not neglect them casually.
At this moment, I can only leave with others, and I feel very lost. (To be continued...)
